 ## Description
 This is a repo for all of our fun public projects. Members can push their projects to this page to share with the rest of the club.
 
+### Purpose
+Share personal projects for inspiration, feedback, education, and gaining an audience
+
+### How it works
+Students may create a PR (pull request) for a directory containing their project, or a file contaiining a link to where their project is hosted on their account - preferably a github account.
+<br>- In the case of a file with a link, use of an MD file for markup is recommended, with a description alongside your link.
+<br>- In the case of file or directory, students should add an MD file describing what they would like with sharing their project - feedback, help, just sharing, etc.
